Palestinian prime minister submits governmentโ€™s resignation

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh says his government is resigning. Monday's move could pave the way for a shake-up in the Palestinian Authority. The U.S. hopes the authority will eventually take on a role in postwar Gaza. Many obstacles remain to making a revamped Palestinian Authority a reality. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose forces were driven from Gaza by Hamas in 2007, has made clear that he would like the PA to govern the enclave after the war. But it is deeply unpopular among Palestinians, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has roundly rejected the idea of putting the authority in charge of the territory. Abbas must still decide whether he accepts the resignations of Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyehโ€™s government.

Money set aside to clean up the nationโ€™s #oil and #gas wells covers less than 2% of the projected cost. The remainder that tab? $151.3 billion, which without swift action could fall to taxpayers. These wells are leaking nasty and dangerous stuff, which our reporters measured with special equipment. They found explosive levels of methane and toxic levels hydrogen sulfide.

"Smirnovโ€™s indictment & detention memo suggest the allegations were... possibly a Russian-inspired smear...

The current revelations concerning Smirnov... should provoke questions about #Republicansโ€™ recklessness in peddling claims they apparently knew were unreliable.

...Even if the Republicans did not know Smirnov might have ties to #Russian intelligence, they certainly knew the basis for making wild allegations about #Biden was extremely shaky."
